Summary: Jack has been waiting over a century, only to be rejected.
Whenever Jack thought of the TARDIS, which he frequently did, he remembered her as the place he’d been happiest. Travelling with Rose and the Doctor from world to world, helping people and setting things right, for the first time since he’d left the Time Agency he’d had a place to belong and people who cared about him.
He’d waited over a century to get back to his happy place, but when the TARDIS had finally shown up in Cardiff and he’d raced out to greet her, she and the Doctor had fled from him. Why didn’t they want him anymore?
